Our Mission
K-9s United is committed to supporting and honoring K-9 law enforcement officers who detect, protect and serve our communities by giving them the best equipment, amenities, and quality of life during and after their service, and memorializing those who give the ultimate sacrifice.

Our Vision
A world where every K-9 officer has everything they need to survive and thrive as the selfless heroes they truly are.

Our Passion
Every police officer should have what they need to serve, protect and thrive— No one can argue with that.
But some of our best officers don’t have everything they need
Some of our fastest officers aren’t protected by the best equipment Some of our most dedicated officers aren’t given the best tools

And these officers can’t speak up
These officers can’t ask for more
These officers can’t tell us exactly what they need These officers are K-9 officers.
And they deserve our support

So, at K-9s United we join forces with local police departments To speak up for them
To provide them the equipment they need
To give them the tools to survive in the field and thrive in life. We are their voice. We are their partners.
And together we unite to support our K-9 heroes.

…We are K-9s United.
